Galloway Escapes

The perfect spot for a Scottish coastal break at Craigbittern House More Details

With its deserted beaches, rolling hills, tranquil lochs, picturesque towns and glorious unspoilt beauty, Dumfries and Galloway is the ideal place to take a holiday. Whether you visit for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings or a week filled with outdoor adventure and exploration; Galloway Escapes has the perfect base from which to see and explore glorious Galloway.

Craigbittern House is a stones throw away from the beautiful Sandyhills beach. The house is in two parts – the main house which has a grand, elegant feel to it and the cottage which has a more modern, cosy feel. Craigbittern is the ideal base for family celebrations and friend get-togethers.

Thom Groot- Craigbittern

What a stunning house. We loved everything from the fully stocked kitchen to the cosy decor to the open fires and luxurious bedrooms. They've thought of everything - even a games room, x box, and treasure hunt for the kids!

Okay, so the best thing about Craigbittern was the space, it was large enough not to be tripping over each other (we were three families, including 6 teenagers). We often go away together, but in other places we have been a bit cramped at some point (parking, kitchen, dining, whatever..). Actually the dinning room is fabulous and we all sat together at the table for dinner which does not happen very often any more. And the games room was a hit.
Oh, and I got 4G (on Vodafone) which is a rarity in this part of the country. The wifi’s fine, but it was getting hammered by the kids.
We had a very lovely holiday stay in a chilly mid-February and would very happily come back again

Perfect is the only way to describe this property and it's surroundings. The house itself set in a stunning location, with each room furnished to a very high standard is so warming and welcoming. If you can pull yourself away from the property, you are never short of things to do, with the beach across the road and coastal walk to the beautiful coastal villages Rockliffe and Kippford. Such an amazing place, perfect for a family get together or group of friends, can't recommend enough. Will definitely be back in the near future.

Kristofer Lorimer- Craigbittern

We stopped here for new year with a large bunch of friends and what a perfect way to see in the new year. The house is amazing and very well equipt, from the decor and furnishings, the hidden den for the kids, cosy throws and a real fire, farmhouse style kitchen and the stunning beach just over the road. There's a lovely coastal walk up to kipford which has stunning views and at the end a pub to enjoy a well earned drink! It's a great holiday home to escape day to day life and I will certainly look forward to spending time here again!
